We transform plastic waste materials into top-quality secondary raw materials
About us
We are based in Latvia, right near Riga Harbor and our journey started in 2019. With the capability to recycle over 20,000 tons of plastics annually, we’re committed to making a significant difference. We are owned by the collection scheme Recipo AB, Sweden.
Who we are
Recipo Material is a giant step towards realising our vision of a sustainable society where electronics do not become waste but are circulated into new products. We are the first plastic recycling plant owned and run by a collection scheme.
With a steady source of material from Recipo’s collection schemes as well as from other recyclers in Northern Europe, Recipo Material can guarantee a steady supply of raw plastic material for global manufacturing distribution .
Recipo has identified that plastic recycling for WEEE is not reaching material recovery targets. A majority of the plastic from WEEE is being exported out of the EU, where traceability and accountability becomes far more difficult. A need to establish control of materials from an environmental perspective is paramount. Recipo has found a niche in the market that is in direct alignment with our vision and goals. Shortening and centralising Recipo’s value chain makes this joint operation more environmentally efficient and more cost effective compared to our competitors.
What we offer
At Recipo Material we’re offering a sustainable solution that benefits both your business and the planet.
Why Choose Recipo Material?
- Global Recognition: Leading electronics manufacturers worldwide trust us. They rely on our recycled plastics to create new products, and their satisfaction speaks volumes about our product quality, dependable deliveries, and competitive pricing.
- Eco-Friendly & Cost-Efficient: Not only are our recycled plastics environmentally friendly, but they are also cost-effective. You’ll find that the current cost of recycled plastics is significantly lower than virgin plastics. This means choosing our plastics isn’t just an environmentally conscious decision; it’s financially savvy too.
What we do
We are supporting EU’s Green Deal by recycling plastic from electronic waste. More than 10% of the world’s oil production is used in plastic production, while less than 10% of plastics get recycled.
By incorporating recycled content into new products, we can actively reduce the strain on natural resources and contribute to more energy-efficient circular value chains.
